Trains travel on tracks made of steel rails. These tracks guide the train's wheels and keep them on course.

Tracks Everywhere

Trains can be powered by various means, such as diesel engines, electric motors, or even steam engines (though these are less common now).

 Ever heard that "choo-choo" sound? It's often associated with steam trains and comes from the steam escaping from the locomotive's cylinders.

 Trains serve different purposes. Some carry cargo like coal, cars, or containers, while others transport passengers from one city to another.

 Trains can be incredibly long, stretching over a mile in some cases. And they're heavy too, often weighing thousands of tons!

Long and Heavy

Like roads have traffic lights, train tracks have signals and signs that tell train drivers when to stop, slow down, or proceed with caution.

Signals and Signs

Trains don't just go from point A to point B; they stop at stations along the way where passengers can get on or off, and cargo can be loaded or unloaded.

Train Stations

Trains connect cities and countries, forming a vital part of transportation networks worldwide. They're efficient, environmentally friendly, and often cheaper than other modes of transport for long-distance travel or shipping goods
